A loss is hard at any age. I never had the emotion of the loss but instead the awareness that dad never was. My mom did not speak of my dad,then she remarried. I know now that her not speaking of him was because of her pain. Therefore I never knew anything. Mom did not live near dads family and they did not connect but maybe by a holiday present, so it has been an emptiness. When mom died three of the siblings ended up with things that are about my dad, and I am getting to know him. It may have happened in 1967 but for me I am just reading the news. My children have no connection, my siblings all live in different areas, and my husband supports my discoveries by reading the blog and then speaking with me. The blog is therefore my way to process the information. Oh it also is a legacy of how the sacrifice that our soldiers pay is an unsettled debt for the family&#39;s. <br /><br />About your mom, I so understand my friend,and (((HUGS)))to you.Humble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417179101556959203.post-56684511689803432632017-03-19T11:40:04.395-04:002017-03-19T11:40:04.395-04:00Thank you so much for sharing this.

So special to know that these were the things that were on his mind - honor and duty.<br /><br />I&#39;m always struck by the sadness of his loss in your life. <br />Deanna Rabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.com
